Frequently Inquired Questions
Q：Why does porcelain some of the time create a greenish tint?

A：Clinically, any alloy with 25% or more precious metal (gold, platinum, or palladium) qualifies as noble. We provide detailed composition breakdowns with every case for your records and insurance documentation.
